Heroes of a Broken Land

2/10

grind, micromanage, profit.

I am a 52 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing Heroes of a Broken Land. I am a single father to my Son, who is 14 now. My son found this game at Christmas, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So i decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. Loaded into the game world and started playing but I was stuck on what you were supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he helped me. Loved it as it was the best time had spent with my Son since my wife had died. This game has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my Son many happy memories. Thank you <3

certified banger of a game, looking forward to play this more, and seeing how progress on the 2nd one goes

Fun proc-gen dungeon crawler where you can have multiple parties roaming the land.

A super RPG game on steroid! A game where you can Decked out every heroes that joined your cause. Even then you can once in a while obtained a champion of champion that you can further groomed into a super killing machine. Progression is so deep and rewarding! The possibilities are endless! This is a game you can really sink your teeth into! Hours of pure entertainment. TRY OUT THE DEMO! You got everything to gain and nothing to lose! I've been a hard core RPG fan for decades yet this game still take me to another level!

Fun, nostalgic time! I'm obsessed with CRPGs and this one has all the bells and whistles: 1) Addicting combat loop 2) Hard to start but satisfying to master 3) Each class matters/no class feels useless 4) If your party dies in a dungeon, you can make a new party to rescue them at any time. 5) Retro graphics (think Wizardry) 6) Unique enemy types (ghosts and glimmers in particular) 7) Beautiful world map 8) The crystalized god in the starting town is a unique idea and designed gorgeously 9)Custom portraits and name customization lead to some good times (and funny screenshots) Cons: 1) Game is prone to glitches; I've had a newly hired party member just vanish from existence for no reason once or twice. Reloading my save never brought them back. 2) The story is bare-bones (not really a deterrent tho). 3)Towers can start to overstay their welcome after the first 2 hours. The dungeons/caves are well-paced and can be beaten in 30 minutes to an hour but the towers take around an hour and a half longer than that so enemy encounters start to feel same-y. Overall: 7.5/10 Recommended for CRPG fans and dungeon crawlers! If you like Etrian Odyssey, Wizardry and other such titles, you'll like this one!

It's a neat cross between Heroes of Might and Magic and a dungeon crawler. You make up to 6 groups of 6 heroes each, and send them out to explore, gather resources, liberate other towns, and clear dungeons, while also having limited space in your town (and a little space for each extra town you conquer) for buildings, meaning you won't be able to have them all, at least not right away. It gets a bit grindy and some of the dungeons require up to 4 parties at once, though that part feels a bit gimmicky rather than meaningful, as they each fight separately and just press buttons to open stairs for each other, it kind of forces you to level extra groups of heroes fairly high that you otherwise wouldn't need to without really adding anything to the game. Still, overall it's a lot of fun. I recommend reading a guide for how to build heroes as they will suck if they aren't built properly. Not enough to brick your game as you can always train new ones, but there are a lot of things that aren't explained, like when you level up, you get certain skills at certain levels, and some of those skills can be bought in your buildings or other places on the map, and some of them can only be learned, or possibly (rarely) found in chests in dungeons. All weapons other than spears are garbage for melees due to defense penetration and scaling of defense on high level enemies.

Awful UI, and boring gameplay
